I see. So the flair was integrated into your smart thermostat at home?

Try Atkins in Amherst

They have good employees but it’s essentially run by a group of people that are as transparent as a brick wall, you just don’t hear about it much because they have the local news in their pocket. They also have no desire to improve, only to the extent it affects their image.

Guidos is expensive and has the best produce hands down. It is sort like Zabars in terms of variety - cheese, organic and natural foods. It caters to a NYC crowd. Big Y has good produce, especially in summer and many local (Massachusetts and Connecticut produced) products. Aldis has lowest prices, good produce, but limited variety and a lot of their own brands rather than national brands. Price Chopper has OK produce, and tend to be cheapest for national brands. Target is good for pantry staples. Stop and Shop has so-so produce, but probably the most variety in general items.

Edit: keep forgetting Price Chopper is now Market 32 (same company) in this area.

The farm store on Fort Hill is good in summer. Also Jaeschke's on Crane Ave has a good garden center for veggie, herb, and flower plants and a pretty diverse farm stand in the summer. The owner can be a bit cranky if she is the one waiting on you. Whitneys on Rte 8 also has a great garden center/farm stand with bakery and sandwiches (a bit more expensive than Jaeschke's) and a pain to get out of if you are heading south back into Pittsfield.

How am I a clown for wanting to know my rights and responsibilities? When did this conversation become confrontational? Maybe that’s just every conversation for you

Big Y pizza slaps

Yeah no reason at all to go to Btown unless your going home

The location is pretty good. 20m in NoHo on Bay rd, 30m to springfield, 10m to amherst. Good thing too as there is bloody all in town.

My family is much happier since moving to Greenfield. IDN why it's not on the list.

That they are

Sure, but my point was the town didn't offer it. It is what they settled on.

They did it in Bourne too, right next to the rotary. Pretty much forced the best airsoft/paintball field in New England out when they bought it

Same thing is happening just north of the border in Nashua.

Nope your thinking of Athol lol

There is a Thai restaurant in South Hadley that Harrison Ford visits when he’s in town. His kid goes to one of the local universities.

not sure what you mean!

I mean I thought the big y was pretty alright. Amazon sucks, obviously.

Big y does the same. All retail companies do. If you really want to get upset and angry look into the companies that pay rent to themselves via a shell company.

While I am sad about it and also hate Amazon, the Cinema went out of business on its own. Movie theaters have been on a downward slope for a long time and struggling to stay relevant against streaming services and high quality home viewing. I treasure theatrical releases and saw no problem with it, but it's a harsh reality that movie theaters need to reinvent themselves to stay relevant with the masses.

There's a place in New Hampshire I forget the name of that has tables in the theater rooms and they let you order from the movie theater and bring your food to you at the tables in the theater room. That's the kind of stuff movie theaters need to do to stay relevant.

I second this. if you don't mind working over 40 plus hours per week, you will be hired on the spot. federal benefits for what it's worth

Plumbers and electrical. Plumbers are in a bit higher demand in MA as far as on the job training goes a lot of the trades are up to 5 years of (paid) apprenticeship.

I am not, but thanks to clowns like you when time comes to move instead of renting my condo out for a few dollars more than it costs me I will sell it to the highest bidder who will proceed to rape your wallet in the most brutal way imaginable. You be you and before you know it everything is owned by Alpha Management and costs $5,000/month.

USPS

You didn’t lose out, better an empty building than the previous tenant.

>It’s really just Hampshire county. If you go to the Berkshires, it’s not that great.

Me: what about these places in Franklin county? I live in Hampden county and there are queer spaces here.

You: Those aren't the Berkshires

Me: I never said they were, but implying that western Mass = Hampshire county or the Berkshires is also wrong. There are 4 counties in western ma and 3 of them are considered pretty LGBTQ friendly.

UPS is affiliated with The Teamsters. Most jobs are part time (4 hour shifts/ 15-25hrs a week) and they are typical warehouse work, with pay anywhere from $18-22/hr. UPS is a workout but the benefits are top tier and less than $100/month.

Part time workers who gain enough seniority, pass driving tests and medical clearance are able to sign bid sheets and eventually drive, which is where the real money is. If you are looking something to keep you in shape while you look for something else, and have solid benefits…UPS is a decent place to start. It would take 6-9 months of part time work to become eligible for the insurance.
